The Stuffed Animal Rescue Foundation: Our Mission

The Stuffed Animal Rescue Foundation (S.A.R.F.) is an organization dedicated to the well-being of abandoned, outgrown or neglected Stuffed Animals.* We find permanent and/or foster homes for rescued Stuffed Animals (SAs), and we provide shelter, snuggles and good conversation in the interim. We are committed to the physical and mental rehabilitation of stuffed victims of abandonment, and we raise awareness of these problems through our Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo events. We are located in Austin, TX.

Rescue Objectives

To love SAs whose owners can no longer keep them (due to callousness, ‘growing up’ or apartment redecoration)

To rehabilitate SAs before placement by providing sanitization, psychotherapy, hug therapy and all needed innoculations

To place SAs in suitable homes with loving owners**

To evoke guilty feelings in those who have abandoned childhood SAs and to educate the public regarding SAs’ feelings

To thoroughly screen adoption applicants before making placement decisions

*The S.A.R.F. does not discriminate against ‘non-animal’ species (eg. snowmen, stuffed fruits or vegetables, strikingly cute pillows) as long as they are plush and are sufficiently adorable to be considered viable candidates for adoption.

**The S.A.R.F. reserves the right to keep any SAs to which we become attached during the rehabilitation process.

[Mindy]

We're identical twins, and we're also best friends. Our family and friends can tell us apart, but sometimes strangers can't. We like to play pranks on people. We're world-class doubles tennis players, we sing backup harmonies for an internationally-famous pop star, we've done a few commercials, we share clothes when we wear them, and we have our own secret language. You know, the usual twin stuff. Cindy will finish…

…so yeah, we love to be together, but we're ready to spend a little time apart. That's why we want to be adopted by two different owners. But they have to see each other a lot. Like, they're best friends. That way we get to see each a whole bunch and can still practice tennis. We also got these cool mailboxes so we can write each other letters!
